In Reply: Dr Trainer raises questions related to the differences between biopsy-derived and prostatectomy-derived Gleason scores in our study. The pathological specimens, from both biopsy and radical prostatectomy, were read by the same team of pathologists during the entire study period, not by a single pathologist. However, we agree that differences between biopsy and radical prostatectomy grading are well documented.1,2
